Yūgure was a Fletcher-class destroyer originally operated by the U.S. during WWII and loaned to the Japanese Navy in the late 1950’s. Soon, captains will have the chance to command Yūgure as she becomes available as one of the top prizes in the upcoming crafting event, beginning soon in War Thunder!
Yūgure (DD-184), destroyer, Japan, II rank, premium.
Pros
- Excellent firepower
- Good versatility
- Premium bonuses
Cons
- No torpedoes
- Fewer cannons than the original Fletcher design
Prior to being loaned to the JMSDF, Yūgure was known as the USS Richard P. Leary (DD-664) and was one of many Fletcher-class destroyers built for the USN during WWII. Commissioned in 1944, the ship took part in some of the last major operations in the Pacific theatre before being decommissioned and put into reserve in 1946.
In 1959, USS Richard P. Leary as well as another Fletcher destroyer were loaned to the JMSDF and was renamed to Yūgure. In Japanese service, the destroyer was modified several times to better fit the anti-submarine warfare and training ship roles. Yūgure would end up serving with the Japanese Navy until 1974 before the ship was returned to the U.S. and ultimately sold for scrap in 1976.
Yūgure will be one of the top prizes awaiting captains and participants in the upcoming event taking place in War Thunder soon. As a Fletcher destroyer, Yūgure retained many of this class’ signature features, such as its excellent versatility, while also incorporating some changes made by Japanese shipbuilders during her postwar service.
Distinguishing itself from other ships of its class, Yūgure lost one of its 5’’ main guns and also its 21’’ torpedo launchers, but still retains an excellent rate of fire in her main guns as well as five dual 40mm Bofors cannons to take care of any smaller vessels and aircraft in particular. On top of this, Yūgure is also a premium vessel, meaning that captains are able to earn more rewards for all actions performed in combat - a trait most welcomed by new captains aspiring to quickly climb the ranks of the Japanese bluewater naval tree!
All captains will have the chance to commission Yūgure into their battle fleet by taking part in the upcoming crafting event, starting soon in War Thunder. Stay tuned and calm seas!

TheSkrik, Ok
once again gaijin successfully screwed up the font of the number and the ship name :)
Hopefully in the future they will fix all the Japanese names.
But why ? Out of all the unique Japanese post-war domestically produced vessels https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f0/3a/50/f03a50545098f8b7d4313f9c36c5781f.gif Why an American built Fletcher-class with majority of its fire power being stripped off, why ? And oh another event boat for Japan btw what a surprise....
Wouldn't the domestically built destroyers be better for to be put in the researchable tree, and not an event vehicle like this? I'm fine with a Japanese Fletcher being an event vehicle to be honest, but I just hope it wasn't in a crafting event among all.

Nearly copy-pasta. Great to have a nerfed Fletcher on Japanese tech tree. No torpedoes and 20% less main armament. I guess the 'better fit for anti-submarine warfare' means it has extra depth charges or something?
I mean sure, it has more 40mm's, but if I wanted a destroyer for Anti-air duty, doesn't the Shimakaze (squadron vehicle) with 21x 25mm cannons already do that role? 40mm's probably have more range though, but the Shimakaze has torpedoes and also 6x main guns.
Naval EC when?
Never
"no torpedoes" lol Yugure had two 483mm torpedoes and hedgehogs source http://www.navypedia.org/ships/japan/jap_dd_ariake.htm http://military.sakura.ne.jp/navy2/dd_ariake.htm
you should read your source again then because it's stated than it could carry that armament only after a later refit
Seaplanes when?
Im sure that somewhere in the manual stands that those canons can shoot apfsds rounds. So why not giving it some?
Sorry Comrade. Only applies to Germany.
hypersleep
this is the vehicle that I will keep for myself, I can sell the others.
It's WAY worse than any other ship we had in any event but okay
Owner203, best guns on any japanese destroyer.
